Admissions

The admissions process for domestic students at Stevens-Henager College-Logan is different from the traditional admissions process of other colleges and universities. The admissions process offers a more personal experience than anything that students are used to experiencing. The first step in the process is to contact a Stevens-Henager College-Logan representative to begin the admissions process. A representative will assist students with any questions or concern regarding the enrollment process.

The next step in the admissions process is scheduling a visit to the campus. It is important that students visit the campus and take part in a brief Career Questionnaire. The questionnaire helps the admissions personnel to help students find the best educational options.

Meeting a financial planner is the next step in the admissions process. An experienced financial planner assists students with each step of the financial aid process. The financial planner’s goal is to simplify the process as much as possible for students. The financial planner is responsible for introducing students to all of the requirements to receive financial aid and helping students understand the various type of aid available. The planner’s purpose is to make the financial aid process easier so that students can focus on earning a degree.

Next, students must meet with an Admissions Consultant to plan an educational future. The Admissions Consultant reviews the Career Questionnaire to determine a student’s educational goals. The consultant also asks students additional question about interests and needs to find the program that is right for the each individual student to determine if Stevens-Henager College is the appropriate institution to accomplish personalized goals.

The next step is to develop a personalized financial plan. This step is all about taking the steps to create the most affordable financial plan possible for each student. The process involves a member of the admissions personnel team explaining any additional details that students need to know. The financial planner is available to students each step of the way by keeping track of pertinent documents necessary in the application process.

The final step in the admissions process is meeting the Director of Admissions. Students must meet with the Director of Admissions for an interview and final admission approval.

Financial Aid

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in receiving financial assistance. The application determines the type and amount of financial assistance that students receive based on financial needs. Students need certain information to complete the FAFSA application, including social security number, pervious years Federal Income Tax Return( spouses forms if married but filing separately), W-2 forms from previous year, foreign tax returns (if applicable), untaxed income records from previous year, bank statements from the previous year, alien registration card, and investment and business information from previous year. This information helps to determine a student’s financial need. Students are encouraged to complete FAFSA forms as early as possible to receive the best financial rewards. Students can begin completing FAFSA forms as early as early January, or once all documents are available.

Financial Aid comes in many forms, including grants, loans, scholarships, and Federal Work-Study programs. Grants do not require repayment. As of April 2011, the maximum grant amount that students may qualify for per school year is $5,550. The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is another type of grant awarded to students with exceptional financial needs. The amount varies by school. Federal Work-Study programs also provide an option for students to earn money to attend school, and the money does not require repayment. The funding amount depends on the availability.

Loans are another source to fund an education. Federal Plus, Unsubsidized, Federal Perkins, and Subsidized Loans are the available options to finance an education. All loans must be repaid. Federal Perkins Loans are loans provided by the attending school. There is no maximum annual amount that can be awarded to students. Subsidized Stafford Loans are loans in which students begin paying loan interest after graduation.

Unsubsidized Stafford Loans build interest as soon as the loan is received, and students are responsible for paying all accumulated interest. Federal Plus Loans are loans that parents take out for a dependent’s education, and the parent is responsible for repayment. Active and veteran military service members also qualify for educational benefits. A few of the opportunities include Matching Funds, ACE, GI Bill to Legacy Grants, DANTES, and more. Many veterans may also qualify for Vocational Rehabilitation and Active Duty Tuition Assistance.
